Barr, Abigail and Miller, Luis. (2020)

Abstract. A large number of observational and experimental studies have explored the determinants of individual preferences for redistribution.

Several European countries maintained the so-called professor’s privilege, an exception to employment law whereby university researchers were allowed to retain the ownership of academic inventions. The 2000s were characterised by convergence towards a more homogeneous…

We aim to answer this question by relying on unique data from a national online survey in Spain, where we used various questions unpacking the standard indicator of political interest. The findings show that men and women nominate different personal political interests. We…
